Paleo French Pistachio Macaroons

Macaroon are one the best treats I love the most. Most of the store bought macaroons are so overwhelmingly sweet and you can barely taste the other yummy ingredients they consist off. When I was living in france I had a friend at the bakery that use to make me custom made macaroons.. My Favorite flavor is pistachio.

I have tried this recipe with almond flour and pistachio flour , but I got the best result when I used almond flour with pistachio extract.
